ID: 9 PREVALENCE AND CHEMOTHERAPY OF EQUINE THEILERIOSIS IN AND AROUND LAHORE-PAKISTAN M. Ijaz, M. Azhar, M. M. Ali, K. Mehmood Clinical Medicine and Surgery, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan Topic: 6. Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases / Vector-Borne Diseases The prevalence of theileriosis in clinical affected equines of Lahore district was examined and the efficacy of three treatments measured. A total of 300 (horses=100; donkeys=100; mules=100) blood samples were collected from equines and examined microscopically; Overall, 174 (58%) were positive for Theileria equi whereas in horses (54%), mules (64%) and donkeys (56%) The final efficacy of treatment with Imidicarb dipropionate, Buparvaquone or Aak (Calotropis procera) was 91.7%, 66.7%, and 58.3%, respectively, making Imidicarb dipropionate the most effective treatment. This is the first report of Theileria equi infection in equines of Pakistan.
ID: 12 GASTROINTESTINAL HELMINTHES AND PROTOZOA IN MIGRATORY CAMELS IN MULTAN, PAKISTAN M. M. Ayaz Topic: 6. Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases / Spread of Pathogens through International Trade A Survey of gastrointestinal helminthes/ parasites in camel migrated from Tehsil Jalapur Pir Wala to Multan Tehsil, was carried out during May, 2012.A total number of 50 samples (20 males and 30 females) were collected from various places at Multan.The revealed parasites were mixed helminthic infection and identified as strongylidae spp., trichostrongyle spp., coccidian/ eimeria spp. and isospora spp. Keywords: Gastrointestinal helminthes, Camel, Fecal sample, Migratory camels.
ID: 22 EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BRUCELLOSIS IN HUMANS AND DOMESTIC RUMINANTS A. Rahman Department of Medicine, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh Topic: 6. Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases / Zoonoses An epidemiological study on brucellosis in humans and domestic ruminants was carried out between 2007 to 2011 in Bangladesh. One thousand three hundred and sixty (1360) cattle, 636 goat, 1044 sheep and 800 human sera were tested in parallel by using indirect ELISA (iELISA), Rose Bengal Test (RBT) and Slow Agglutination Test (SAT) (in Human Standard Tube Agglutination Test). True prevalence of brucellosis in cattle, goat, sheep, humans and sensitivities and specificities of iELISA, RBT and SAT (STAT in humans) were determined by Bayesian analysis. Risk factors were identified multiple random effect logistic regression. Seventeen MRT positive pooled milk samples, 23 placentas, 17 vaginal swabs, 5 semen samples and 20 seropositive human sera were tested for the detection of Brucella at species level by using IS711 realtime PCR. The overall herd level prevalence of bovine brucellosis was 35.10% (95% Probability Interval (PI): 30.3, 40.0) (n=388). The true prevalence of brucellosis among humans, cattle, goats and sheep estimated were 2.6% (95% CrI: 1.2-4.5), 1.8% (95% Credible Interval (CI): 0.8-3.1), 0.7% (95% CrI: 0.2-1.6) and 1.2% (95% CrI: 0.6-2.2) respectively. The sensitivity of iELISA, RBT and SAT (Standard Tube Agglutination Test in human) were estimated. Herd size and breeding were found to be significantly associated with herd level risk factors of bovine brucellosis. Duration of contact with livestock was significantly associated with brucellosis in human. Only Brucella abortus was detected from both humans and animals by using real time PCR for the first time in Bangladesh.
